What is an IBAN?
IBAN is the International Bank Account compliant with the ISO 13616 standard. It is a unique customer account number that can be used with confidence to make transfers and receive payments (excluding cheques and credit cards) inside and outside the country. The trust comes from two sources: the first is the internationally accepted standard for numbering bank customer accounts, and the second is the ISO 13616 methodology for verifying the accuracy of the IBAN.
Who can create and issue an IBAN?
Banks that maintain customer accounts using electronic payments are authorised to generate an IBAN. No other party is allowed to generate international bank account numbers for bank customers.
